Mmmmmm, life tastes pretty good right about now. Just got back from Saint Pauls Cathedral, and my what a gorgeous building that is. Climbed up all 500,000,000 steps to get to the top (or as close as I could) and looked down on the vast expanse that is London. Wonderful views, probably the best you can get in the city. Also enjoyed the colorful mosaics that were put up by Queen Victoria and her posse (probably more her posse than her really). Worth a visit for sure.

In other news, I recently made a wee visit down to the lovely (I think England makes me want to use words like “lovely”…. also “quite”) city of Brighton, had some great nights out courtesy of Mr. Scruff and Warp Records, and ate a banana. You can see some pictures from these events (save the banana eating event) in the pictures section. The picture right above this is from the Warp event where, among other things, I met the legendary Aphex Twin. And the funny guy (the one with the glasses, not me) in the pictures section is none other than Metem‘s very own Contax. And what a nice guy he is.

Yesterday I read some articles about how weblogging (you are reading a weblog right now) is dominated by people who crave attention and feel a strange compulsion to document their lives to strangers. I suppose I fall into that category, don’t I? Why should anyone care about my life? But wait, that argument would have us believe that all art and communiction is a waste of time. As human beings we love to connect to each other, however possible, and many of our inventions are used specifically for this (like the internet). So there, I have justified the above ramblings. I’ll give myself a pat on the back and exit the computer lab. Thanks for indulging me.
